Hiking the ridgeline toward Mt. Elliot

From many vantage points, Mt. Elliot looks less like a distinct peak than it does the long bulky tail of far-better-known Wolverine Peak. This photo, taken at the low point on the ridge between the two peaks, is one of the few I've seen that makes Elliot look like a standalone mountain. This was an early fall hike, right after the first snowfall hit the mountains. The snow melted off during the day, which was sunny and clear, and from the top of Elliot we got great views of the more remote parts of Chugach State Park.
